Besides the possibilities mentioned by Bruce, there are also problems where different kinds of events may happen, and these events may or may not exclude the occurrence of the other events (dying from a car crash, for instance, is a competing risk relative to the main risk studied such as dying from a heart attack; one excludes the other; in the opposite case, the risk of losing your job is not a competing risk relative to the risk of getting divorced: one or both may happen to the same individual, in any order).
I concur that clarification is needed.

Asunto: Re: multi-event survival analysis?
Please clarify what you mean by multiple-event. I.e., do you mean the same
event can occur multiple times per person (e.g., time to drink for pts in
rehab); or do you mean that there is only one event per person, but an event
is defined as the occurrence of any one of X, Y or Z? I *think* Rich U was
thinking about the second case when he said Cox regression could do this.
For repeated occurrences of the same event, I *think* you'd need to use
GENLIN or GENLINMIXED, or something like that. But there may be others who
have actually done it who can speak with more authority.
